The Real JFK Jr. & Carolyn, Women Skaters Take Olympic Ice, ‘Will Trent’s Blast from the Past
ABC News archives illuminate a special revisiting of the relationship of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, the subject of a new FX docudrama. The women’s individual ice-skating competition opens with the short program. Mark-Paul Gosselaar returns to Will Trent as the GBI agent’s former foster brother. Hulu, current home of The Kardashians, adds all 20 seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to its streaming library.

John and Carolyn: Love, Beauty and Loss
If FX and Hulu’s new docudrama Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette has whetted your appetite for the genuine article, ABC News Studios complies with a retrospective special that digs into the archives, including newly discovered photos and rare wedding footage of the political family’s charismatic scion and his spotlight-shunning bride. Interviews include fashion designer Gordon Henderson, journalists from People magazine and The New Yorker, and the limited series’ stars, creators, producers, and crew.

Winter Olympics
Amber Glenn and Alysa Liu, who won gold skating for the U.S. in the team ice skating event last week, now compete for individual medals, with the short program among the day’s highlights. Coverage begins at 12:45 am/ET on Peacock and USA Network, continuing on NBC at 2:40 pm/ET. Medal event highlights include women’s slopestyle in snowboarding, men’s Nordic combined, men’s biathlon, men’s and women’s team pursuit in speed skating, men’s freeski big air in freestyle skiing, and 2-man bobsled. All events can be livestreamed and replayed on Peacock, with NBC’s Primetime in Milan recap airing at 8/7c.

Will Trent
We’ve seen GBI Agent Will Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) get wrapped up in a case to the point of obsession, and it happens again when he and partner Faith (Iantha Richardson) delve into a killer’s psyche while investigating a grisly suburban murder, which makes it all the more disruptive when Will’s former foster brother, Paul Campano (NYPD Blue alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar), re-enters the picture, throwing Will even further off balance.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Can there be such a thing as too much Kardashian? (This is a rhetorical question.) Hulu, home for seven seasons of The Kardashians, has now gained U.S. streaming rights for all 20 seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the show that put the camera-friendly family on the reality-TV map. The bonanza includes spinoffs, including Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami, the Hamptons and New York, plus such fondly remembered (by someone) specials, including Kim’s Birthday Reveal and Kardashians on Vacation from 2015.

Best Medicine
Dr. Martin Best’s (Josh Charles) mysterious aversion to blood, still a mostly well-kept secret, is why he relocated from Boston to the quirkily peaceful burg of Port Wenn in the first place. So imagine his horror when the bucolic town goes all in on an attraction known as “Blood Factory,” a gory haunted house in homage to a horror novel that used Port Wenn as a setting. Despite his infirmity, Doc Martin faces his fears to help his love interest, schoolteacher Louisa (Abigail Spencer), when she falls ill. What next, a public screening of 28 Days Later?

I'm interested in seeing the skating short program... wish I could find out exactly when that's scheduled to air. (ALthough I think the networks don't list that sort of thing specifically because they don't want people to do that. 😆 😄
Meantime, I'll also be watching Finding Your Roots.
BTW, Miss Scarlet was EXCELLENT on Sunday night. It could easily have served as a series finale: happy endings all around. In any case, it makes the next season of Miss Scarlet pretty well set up.

The figure skating seems to be listed in two live segments, from 12:30-3pm and 2:40-5pm (eastern time), with probably the higher-ranked contenders in the second group of skaters. Then, I guess, a shorter version in the primetime show.
I thought that same thing about Scarlet being written as if it could be easily be the series finale. When she closed the detective agency door behind her, with a look of satisfaction about the future...
